1776: Build statue of George III

[tedbarnett]

On July 9, 1776, days after the Declaration of Independence, rebel colonists pulled down a 4000 lb statue of King George III in Bowling Green Square.

Let's make a recreation of that statue for the 1776 version of Manhattan. Several references:

Used placeholder for now. Based on an actual Roman statue. Need to modify to match George III face.
